Speaking of GoT Art:
I illustrated Sam over 8 years ago and I thought it was funny that the depiction looked quite close to the actor they picked in the show. Or maybe it's just me..
looks more like Aria's fat friend.
Gotta understand there were changes in the two versions, and I think HBO just decided to ignore stuff like that when modifying the story.

Nah, he's bottom-tier.
Yay, he killed a white walker... while it wasn't even paying attention to him. Again.
I have to say that it's kinda silly that this is the second time that white walker (if it even is the same one) has spared Sam and not finished the job. Seeing as he's lost his dagger now though, I hope he won't be lucky a third time should he stumble across another white walker.
The whole Sam storyline is taking away delicious screen time from Dany and Rob, and the only reason I don't mind it too much is because we get some cool glimpses of white walkers.

Not every character is a badass army commander. Some of them are cowardly and weak, but their stories can still be interesting...

It's at the mouth of blackwater bay, east of King's Landing a couple hundred miles. Look here: http://gameofthrones.net/images/Westeros_Maps/map_of_westeros.jpg

Eh, here's the (spoiler free HBO-made) map: http://viewers-guide.hbo.com/season3/#!/map/
Dragonstone is pretty close to the mainland. The place where Mel met the Brotherhood is probably... somewhere between Harrenhal and Riverrun, I'm guessing?

the Hound's "Fuck Joffrey" line reminded me of this:

Holy shit.
It's kinda odd how Jamie has become a likeable character.
I wonder if they might be able to do something like that for Joffrey (lol no).

It would take an act of God to turn Joff likeable.
He deserves a thousand bamboo splinters up his urinary tract.

The only people I want to survive are The Hound and Bronn, so that they can later get a spinoff show where they travel the countryside getting in zany adventures.

The hell did Bran do?
Kinda annoying the way he always just sits there.
He's the king and defender of the realm, nothing wrong with a little droit du seigneur.

His story is just soooo boring. Maybe he can redeem himself by controlling bears etc. and shredding through some armies. But maybe his creepy brother has the same powers - and he shuts the fuck up (and can walk), so I take that one instead.

his hair annoys me. he just entered that stupid teenage boy age.

Could someone explain this to me? I thought the line was awesome and significant but couldn't figure out why.
I don't understand why Dany needs to be taken down a notch at this point. Yes, she is a bad-ass but she's also thousands of miles away and at this point has no real way of getting her army to Westeros. I also think this is a long process for her character that is no way over yet. She still needs more numbers in her army, the dragons are still fairly small, and she has been learning how to rule each step of the way. She wasn't brought up to rule unlike most every other character fighting for a throne (north or otherwise). I see her growing at the same rate as her dragons but already they're both pretty damned powerful.
I would be interested in a copy/paste of this too. I really need to read the books.
Agreed. Also, her powers are her own unlike Stannis who is using a witch and a god that he doesn't necessarily even believe in. I mean, he believes the power is real but I get the impression he doesn't worship this god of light. Yet I do believe that he is just as entitled to the throne as Dany and much more so than Joffrey or Renly.
I took it as a power move. You would expect most women to hide their bodies from the man in the room because, boobs. But it seemed to me like she was saying, "yes, I'm a woman but I'm as powerful as any man."

When Sansa gives him her underaged piece, will he say "and now his watch has ended" with a smirk before he penetrates?
random thought - since the white walkers use the corpses of the slain to create ritualistic symbols, could it be that they also worship some deity? Sort of like the counterpart to the Lord of Light, a god/demon/supernatural being of cold, death, "darkness"? Summer (Fire) against Winter (Ice)? And Stannis is destined to be the champion of the LoL in this conflict?
He's crippled.
I miss this guy. Why do all fun characters in Danny's storyline have to die?
Made this and I'm sure this will get plenty of mileage:
Lol. Should have been playing Daario.

Can you guys not do this sort of thing?
Aside from it leading to loads of unintentional spoilers for the show I'm planning on reading the books eventually.
Psst. Don't quote that. If you do, spoiler tag it since if the individual does go back and edit it, yours still shows it in tact. I skipped over it since I had no idea which character it was referring to.

Yes!
Couple of hundred miles by sea does take a pretty long time to cross, though.
Dragonstone is meant to be somewhere in the middle between Essos and Westeros. It's just a small complaint but I thought it was a bit jarring.
How do people turn into wights, is it just something that happens magically north of the wall? They aren't getting bitten, or being infected or anything. I don't want to know if this is a plot point they'll explain later, but it seems weird nobody has questioned this is the show yet, unless I missed it.
I guess Tyrion is serious about being married, assuming he's not going to have sex with Shae on the side while waiting for Sansa.

Yep, she's seductive. You know you shouldn't want her, but because you shouldn't, you want her.
nsfw redcarpet picture. She's so bad even out of character.

The person that plays Cercie look better out of character. Cercie in the show is just rotten, and black hair > blonde.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
"So, their son will be your nephew. After you're wed to Cersei, of course. And you will be the king's stepfather, and brother in law. When you marry the king, Joffrey's mother will become his sister in law. And your son will be Loras'...nephew? Grandson? I'm not sure. But your brother will become your father in law, that much is beyond dispute."
Given how close Essos is to Westeros there I'd say Dragonstone is still pretty far away. But if they can travel that distance (and get a ship, and get to King's Landing) in 2 episodes I really would have thought Bran would be by the wall by now. Same with Sam seeing that Jon actually overtook him on his way back south.

I... really don't get who's getting the best deal out of this arrangement.
Lannisters lose out on their prize-winning cow, who'll give birth to a Tyrell, and little Joffrey and Margerey will create another Baratheon, while Tyrion in theory would produce the sole heir of the lannisters.
Only, it doesn't look like he's up for that task. Is really Tywin's entire plan and the Lannister legacy resting on the head of his least favorite child?
Seems kinda like a dumb move imho.
Yeah, I know it's been stated many times before but it's a real shame there's not a zero-tolerance policy to book readers posting in this thread. I'd be excluded as a result, but then I'm only posting here to say how incredibly annoying the book readers in this thread are - they fall universally into two types: 1) the type that comes in after an episode to ask viewers what they thought of a certain scene because they loved it in the books so much and want to hear them review the past and speculate about the future; 2) the type that finds it impossible to avoid dropping unsubtle hints, or even straight-up making comparisons between the books and the TV show (hey - it's not fine even if it's about past events / characters). Ridiculous posters, the lot of them.
Well Bran is crippled and needs to be pulled while Rickon is supposed to be 6 or so in the show. They travel a lot slower than adults, nevermind those that can use horses or ships. And it's a long trek to the wall from Winterfell.
"Is Slavery OK? Yes" gets me every. time.
